The Uganda farm things I've had any connection with, it was pretty clear with a bit of interaction, that the stories didn't add up. But that's because I know that just because you're somewhere different the amount of space a plant needs to grow and be productive doesn't change.
I don't expect my mangos (fast sprouting, but strong tendency to decide it's had enough of living), avocados (take forever to sprout, but when they do, tend to live a long time (and be rather unattractive)), or papaya (this is new to me, but I didn't expect any survival, but from a single papaya, I have hundreds of seedlings) to produce anything.
They are still fun. Figs probably are about the closest I'm likely to be able to handle to produce in that general "warm part of the world plants" and honestly they'll take a lot of babying to survive the winters even the most hardy varieties.
That said. Growing tomatoes in a 4-8 litre pot... Not likely to get anything unless it's like some specific variety.
Gaza, it doesn't jive with me, but I can't assess well enough. Nor do I think that the person behind the assessments is able to either.
People being dishonest bothers me. People being honest about not really needing something, but having a hankering for something that's fine.
